Gerrard says he’ll ‘fight tooth and nail’ to keep ‘top’ player Morelos at Rangers

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard says he will “fight tooth and nail” to keep Alfredo Morelos at Ibrox. He described the 22-year-old as a “top centre-forward” who he’s desperate to retain for “as long as possible”. Morelos joined Rangers from HJK Helsinki in July 2017 and has gone on to make 69 appearances in all competitions, scoring and creating 50 goals.

The Colombian international has been in fine form this season too, netting 16 goals in 26 games in the Premiership, Europa League and League Cup. He scored in Rangers’ 3-0 win over Livingston on Saturday which drew a lot of praise from his manager.
